Ignacio Isusi, Ontological Executive Coach, discussed the need for effective communication in automation in the recent issue of Automation and Controls Today magazine.

“Advancements in technology are often met with resistance, especially when the workforce fears displacement. The rise of automation is often associated with the threat that companies will outsource labor to machines. It is up to executive leadership in the C-Suite to ensure that the employees feel valued, respected, and perceive their critical role to the future success of the company,” explained Isusi.

Isusi works with industrial leaders to capture the communication needed to honestly acknowledge while the nature of the jobs may change due to automation, it can and must be shared in a way that empowers the workforce.

Isusi shared that with an ever-increasing number of Spanish-speaking workers the imperative to share in a multi-cultural environment often exacerbates the fear and isolation associated with automation advancement.
